What percentage of Canada's land mass do the Northern Territories contain?

  1. 10%

  2. 20%

  3. 33%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 33%

The Northern Territories, also known as the three territories of Nunavut, Yukon, and Northwest Territories, make up about 40% of Canada's land mass. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are lower than the actual percentage. Option C is the closest and most accurate representation of the percentage of Canada's land mass that the Northern Territories hold.
